He is non judgmental, very great at listening and actually validates your own feelings and experiences unlike other psychiatrists who dismiss people, he helped address the main root of my diagnosis and is actually focusing on what I struggle with the most to make sure I get to live better every day, is very educated on all sorts of medications and makes sure to go into detail of every factor of what the medication is about, I 100% recommend !!!
